| Do you have past experience managing communities or creating content to be distributed across social media? Please enter details for all with which you are comfortable or have experience: | |
| As part of growing the xx network community, are you willing to create content as part of operating an xx network BetaNet node? Examples would be node setup & on-boarding review vlog post, bi-weekly twitter update, medium review of on-going node operational process, etc. | |
| Would you be interested in helping to lead the development of the next xx network community? | Yes |
| Why do you want to run a node in the xx network |
|
| What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | Even partial decentralization is arguably better than complete centralization in some cases. The point of this post is to highlight the fact that full decentralization governed by a blockchain protocol is a fundamentally powerful concept, and has the potential to re-work many of our systems today. I support decentralized solutions. |
| As best as you can given currently available information, please describe the value proposition of the xx network platform and how it differs from other current blockchain solutions. | It offers functionality, robustness and performance over other solutions. |
